registration the surface indications of the returns were in favor of the republicans in the stronglv republican wards there were great gains over the registration of four years ago while in the democratic strongholds there were verjr large losses from the figures of the last presidential year all the figures are in our favor said john j hanberg chairman of the repub lican organization committee last night in nearly all the strong republican wards we have big gains which shows we got our men out and the democrats show losses the registration figures are entirely sat isfactory to the democrats roger c sul livan said the losses in certain demo cratic wards like the ninth tenth eight eenth and ninetenth were to be expected the people have moved out of them into what used to be republican ivards the seventh twenty-fifth and thirty-fourth as well as the twenty-seventh ton will see that the democratic vote will show in these wards especially in the thirty fourth big gain in twenty-seventh notwithstanding the claims of the dem ocrats all the big gains were in the wards that give increasing republican majorities the greatest gain of all was in the twen ty-seventh which showed an increase of 4,916 over the last presidential registra tion the second largest was in the he publican twenty|fiftb or 4,232 names while the thirty-fourth loriruer's ward and now claimed by the democrats was third with a gain of 3,836 the seventh also strongly republican showed a gain of 3,059 governor deneen'a home ward the thirty-second showed an increase of 2,141 it was william loeffler's private domain the ninth that got the medal for the largest decrease 2,432 names from the registration of 1904 while john rowers territory the nineteenth had a falling off lof 2,333 names and was a close seiond to the loeffler bailiwick john brenuan's ward fell 1,576 names under tue last pres idential mark and the cougtilln-kenna principality the first was 1,406 short of the last big registration loss in only one g o p ward most of the other wards showed registra tions close to the previous presidential figures those tbat generally go repub lican however had the increases and those in which the democrats oftenest lead the decreases the third milton j fore man's newly-acquired domain was the only distinctively republican ward to show a losa and here it was slight 2>',o votes the biggest increases were all in the out 1 lying wards which was natural as the trend of population is all to the outskirts , ! the decreases were in the congested dis 1 tricts and while it is hardly likely taat population has decreased in those wards there have not been the increases that have naturally occurred in the outlying wards what makes the figures give the demo crats an unusually poor showing is that at j the presidential election of four years ago they admittedly did noi get their men out the explanation then was that the parkor campaign did not arouse buy enthusiasm , as a matter of fact the registration la i the strongholds are from 3,000 to 4.000 votes to the ward behind what was ex pected . since the last presidential registration the population of the city has increased by all estimates at least 150,000 that should mean an increased vote of at least i 30,000 while in fact the increase is onlv 5.000 it is clear that a great nianyjmÃŸnl^i i forgot or refused

engagement between the duke of the abruzzi and miss katherlne f.lkins has been broken the duke him self made the announcement to the royal family in a telegram from turin the pub lication of which has just been permitted the telegram occasioned the greatest re joicing in the royal household dowager queen margherlta replying as follows id listening to the voice of dignity rather than affection you give proof of pos sessing greater character than in your fam ous expeditions i congratulate you with renewed affection the duke does not attempt to conceal his sadness at the unfortunate termination of his love affair wi:h the american heiress he will soon start on a perilous explora tion in order to divert his mind from his grief at whose instance the engagement has been broken is not stated bnt there is a well authenticated rumor that mies elkins took a leading part in the affair dowager queen margherlta is indignant over the reports printed in the united states that she alone was responsible for the situation that first delayed the au uouncement of tae duke's engagement and now its formal breaking she wat ap prised of the duke's to wed miss elkins and while she was opposed to it for dynastlcal reasons she took no overt act to cause the duke to oreak with his affianced indeed she was never asked for any official pronouncement nor would it have had much weight bad she made it there never was any real engagement i said a lady of the queen dowager's suite to-day as a matter of fact the elkiusl family always preferred this way of leav ing things indefinite the reason being they probably foresaw that they might feel forced as at present to declare that no engagement really existed there is evi dently real affection between the two young people but if i must answer i will s.iy that i do not think they will be mar ried if you wi.nt the truth in a nutshell as i understand it here it is the whole itnlisn royal family while not at all ac tively opposing the engagement do not be lieve that the marriage will take place but when dealing with a temperament like the duke's vou cannot be too sure of any thing the elkins family denial of miss kl kius engagement with the duke is re 1 igarded here as an attempt to save the royal family's face offense to one party or the other being involved in an an 1 i nouncement of a rupture it is believed in koine that the opposition of the royal family to the match was not the sole cause for the rupture of the engagement i . ai;d that the change of religion proposed j to miss elkins was a compelling factor people who know the duke are not con i vinced the engagement is irretrievably ended they believe the duke may yet i overcome all obstacles to the marriage london oct 13 a rome dispatch to i the dally telegraph says regarding the i telegram from america denying the exist 1 ence of the engagement between the duke ' of the abrnzzl and miss elkins i am able to state on the highest ju thority that the marriage will certainly take place and very soon probably the denial is intended to put a stop to endless rumors of the press and to withdraw public uttentiou from the matter a romp dispatch to the ijeader says that despite the denial of rtie engagement the duke still is determined to marry miss klktns and may persuade her to consent to a renewal of the engagement it is iprobabje the duke will go to america for i this

registration the surface indications of the returns were in favor of the republicans in the stronglv republican wards there were great gains over the registration of four years ago while in the democratic strongholds there were verjr large losses from the figures of the last presidential year all the figures are in our favor said john j hanberg chairman of the repub lican organization committee last night in nearly all the strong republican wards we have big gains which shows we got our men out and the democrats show losses the registration figures are entirely sat isfactory to the democrats roger c sul livan said the losses in certain demo cratic wards like the ninth tenth eight eenth and ninetenth were to be expected the people have moved out of them into what used to be republican ivards the seventh twenty-fifth and thirty-fourth as well as the twenty-seventh ton will see that the democratic vote will show in these wards especially in the thirty fourth big gain in twenty-seventh notwithstanding the claims of the dem ocrats all the big gains were in the wards that give increasing republican majorities the greatest gain of all was in the twen ty-seventh which showed an increase of 4,916 over the last presidential registra tion the second largest was in the he publican twenty|fiftb or 4,232 names while the thirty-fourth loriruer's ward and now claimed by the democrats was third with a gain of 3,836 the seventh also strongly republican showed a gain of 3,059 governor deneen'a home ward the thirty-second showed an increase of 2,141 it was william loeffler's private domain the ninth that got the medal for the largest decrease 2,432 names from the registration of 1904 while john rowers territory the nineteenth had a falling off lof 2,333 names and was a close seiond to the loeffler bailiwick john brenuan's ward fell 1,576 names under tue last pres idential mark and the cougtilln-kenna principality the first was 1,406 short of the last big registration loss in only one g o p ward most of the other wards showed registra tions close to the previous presidential figures those tbat generally go repub lican however had the increases and those in which the democrats oftenest lead the decreases the third milton j fore man's newly-acquired domain was the only distinctively republican ward to show a losa and here it was slight 2>',o votes the biggest increases were all in the out 1 lying wards which was natural as the trend of population is all to the outskirts , ! the decreases were in the congested dis 1 tricts and while it is hardly likely taat population has decreased in those wards there have not been the increases that have naturally occurred in the outlying wards what makes the figures give the demo crats an unusually poor showing is that at j the presidential election of four years ago they admittedly did noi get their men out the explanation then was that the parkor campaign did not arouse buy enthusiasm , as a matter of fact the registration la i the strongholds are from 3,000 to 4.000 votes to the ward behind what was ex pected . since the last presidential registration the population of the city has increased by all estimates at least 150,000 that should mean an increased vote of at least i 30,000 while in fact the increase is onlv 5.000 it is clear that a great nianyjmÃŸnl^i i forgot or refused

engagement between the duke of the abruzzi and miss katherlne f.lkins has been broken the duke him self made the announcement to the royal family in a telegram from turin the pub lication of which has just been permitted the telegram occasioned the greatest re joicing in the royal household dowager queen margherlta replying as follows id listening to the voice of dignity rather than affection you give proof of pos sessing greater character than in your fam ous expeditions i congratulate you with renewed affection the duke does not attempt to conceal his sadness at the unfortunate termination of his love affair wi:h the american heiress he will soon start on a perilous explora tion in order to divert his mind from his grief at whose instance the engagement has been broken is not stated bnt there is a well authenticated rumor that mies elkins took a leading part in the affair dowager queen margherlta is indignant over the reports printed in the united states that she alone was responsible for the situation that first delayed the au uouncement of tae duke's engagement and now its formal breaking she wat ap prised of the duke's to wed miss elkins and while she was opposed to it for dynastlcal reasons she took no overt act to cause the duke to oreak with his affianced indeed she was never asked for any official pronouncement nor would it have had much weight bad she made it there never was any real engagement i said a lady of the queen dowager's suite to-day as a matter of fact the elkiusl family always preferred this way of leav ing things indefinite the reason being they probably foresaw that they might feel forced as at present to declare that no engagement really existed there is evi dently real affection between the two young people but if i must answer i will s.iy that i do not think they will be mar ried if you wi.nt the truth in a nutshell as i understand it here it is the whole itnlisn royal family while not at all ac tively opposing the engagement do not be lieve that the marriage will take place but when dealing with a temperament like the duke's vou cannot be too sure of any thing the elkins family denial of miss kl kius engagement with the duke is re 1 igarded here as an attempt to save the royal family's face offense to one party or the other being involved in an an 1 i nouncement of a rupture it is believed in koine that the opposition of the royal family to the match was not the sole cause for the rupture of the engagement i . ai;d that the change of religion proposed j to miss elkins was a compelling factor people who know the duke are not con i vinced the engagement is irretrievably ended they believe the duke may yet i overcome all obstacles to the marriage london oct 13 a rome dispatch to i the dally telegraph says regarding the i telegram from america denying the exist 1 ence of the engagement between the duke ' of the abrnzzl and miss elkins i am able to state on the highest ju thority that the marriage will certainly
